Ya virat thinks Sai is stretching him like a rubber band and he is at his breaking point but i dont think he realizes what Sai's position is. She is hanging on by a thread. All her bravado is a facade, underneath it all shes a young girl who is grappling with far too much. If he is SO affected by the conflict between Sai and his family because he is the mediator then he should imagine the plight of this girl who is cornered by all his family members. Ofcourse Virat is also dealing with a lot himself but its nowhere close to what Sai is going through. And hes blind if he cant see that his family and PP are all projecting all their displeasure and anger about HIS decision to marry on Sai. Virat is not the one getting the brickbats, Sai is. Maybe she should learn to let some things go and not always engage with them when they provoke her...but that she will learn with time. I think Sai tries her best to avoid trouble but this family is haath dhoke behind her.
Sai is impending an emotional breakdown. I'd love to see her just vent to her aaba's photo and let herself just CRY. She needs a tight hug. And virat should walk in on her breakdown just like he does when shes doing her monoacting, maybe he will finally realize that shes not angry but that she is unhappy and depressed living in this house. And he needs to reflect back on his conversations with her to realize that she DOES acknowledge everything he has done for her. She has thanked him for saving her life in GC. on the way to do the admission she thanked him for speaking up for her. After the admission she thanked him for "fighting" his family for her sake. She thanked him for paying her fees. When he rebuked PP in that corridor after the DIG incident, she thanked him for giving her the benefit of doubt. So she has always thanked him for all that he has done. She gave him a thank you note when he gifted her a pen. So she values it all. And apart from thanking him personally, he has overheard her talk to her aabaa about "virat sir acche insaan hai".
So its definitely unfair for him to count these things again and make it seem like she "owes him anything". This is a marriage. Shes not his employee that she will just follow his orders. And she is trying to apnaofy his family too- in no time, she has made a special bond with Shivani ashwini and devi.
